Admer

The Erg Admer stretches beneath the sandstone heights of the Tassili n'Ajjer, west of the oasis of Djanet. Its dunes extend south toward the Ténéré, interspersed with rock outcrops and isolated remnants of the plateau. Above them, erosion has cut passages and shelters into the sandstone. Ancient rock paintings in these shelters preserve images of people and animals from an age when the Sahara was wetter than the desert around them.
